Sunday Reflections | Abiara and Notre Dame's Latest Gimmick

Football recruiting was a bright spot for Notre Dame this week as the Irish received a commitment from 2021 Mansfield (Texas) defensive David Abiara‍.

Some questioned how he could only be rated a three-star prospect as his offer list reflects a big-time recruit. 

It's simple. Right now, Abiara is a ball of clay and Mike Elston won the opportunity to mold him. It was a significant pull for Notre Dame as Abiara's coach played for Oklahoma and he had visited Norman.
